I'm a mom and work full-time. How I find time to read I'm not sure but I do. I have been reading ever since I can remember. I always find that if I'm not reading something, I feel empty. I recently bought an eReader so that I can ALWAYS have my library with me :-) Since I have been introduced to a number of different books since I bought my eReader, I thought it made sense to start a blog to share not only my love for reading with others, but also new and interesting reading material.

KaSonndra Leigh was born
in Charlotte, North Carolina. She now lives
in the City of Alchemy and Medicine, North Carolina. She likes to
write about people doing fantastical things in magical worlds. Her two
sons have made her promise to write a boy book next.

She holds the MFA in creative writing, and loves to play CLUE,
Monopoly (the Indiana Jones version), and Pandora's Box (good writer's
block therapy). She lives in an L-shaped house with a garden dedicated
to her grandmother. It has a secret library complete with fairies,
Venetian plastered walls, and a desk made out of clear blue glass.

When I first started reading Hacienda Moon, I wasn't sure if I would be able to finish it. As a mom of a child Breena's age, I threw myself into the prologue imagining the emotions of Tandie. Once I held my emotions under control, I was able to continue reading this story and I am so glad I did. The story behind Chelby House and Eric's family; Eric and Tandie's love story and all that was unveiled throughout the book was both intriguing and enthralling. The book was a definite page turner and I am awaiting the second in the series.
